Thanks again to Sylvie St. Amand and her very talented students at Lewiston Regional Technical Center for creating a wonderful set of possible Scrabble Fest “Letters for Literacy” logos for LV-A to choose from.

Our winning designer this year is Rachel Meuse. The program Rachel is enrolled in is the Multimedia Technology program at the Lewiston Regional Technical Center. It offers students an opportunity to earn college credit through a dual enrollment with CMCC. Many of the projects the students work on are school and community based.

Scrabble Fest will be held Sunday, May 18, 2014, at the Hilton Garden Inn Riverwatch Ballroom from 12:30 to 4:00 PM.

Scrabble Fest is a fun afternoon of game play and friendly — or intense, in the Pro division! — Scrabble competition. It is also a chance to help others in your community. All proceeds are used to provide for local literacy tutoring, LV-A’s Knowledge is Power (KAP) family literacy program, and English language classes in partnership with Auburn Adult Ed.

Sunday, April 18, 2010, “Letters for Literacy” Scrabble Fest, was held at the Fireside Inn in Auburn.

Area Scrabble fans helped raise money for Literacy Volunteers by playing their favorite board game — but with an unusual twist. In this version the competition features teams of four collaborating over the same letter tray to try and out-score another four-person team. An array of prizes, including original artwork, was awarded to the top fund-raisers and everyone enjoyed an afternoon of good-natured Scrabble competition.
